Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Grubbs, AR.

Substance abuse treatment programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment professionals at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
